Our House

Where have we been?
Where are we going?
To a Halloween party
To make out on a golf course
To the roof of a building on a narrow street

We talked on yahoo
On a modem made in 1990
I made a mix tape and it hit you
Hit you in a good way
Shout from the rooftops
That I know you are the other half of
A heart that's broken, mangled
Barely beating (too much coffee)

The other day you made us dinner
Brought home flowers
Took the dogs out, cleaned the cat box
Went to bed
And I stayed up and marveled at
Your beauty, at your kindness
At the way you're still in my head

You've asked me many times to tell you
What the hell we're doing here
And I might not have an answer but to say
Ours is the next frontier, my dear

Then came plague year
When i couldn't stand my own reflection
You made me soup and kept me
Going in the right direction
You said goodbye to rotten assholes
And it cut you deep

But as we bleed out
We still hold each other in our sleep
And when our hearts stop
That'll be the last thing that we see

This fucking city-ha-at first
We thought we'd never stay here
And now we have a home
We made a family we like better
We pull the cat in when he's in the yard
(He's not allowed there)
And then we chuckle-life's still hard
But at least we're together

You've asked me many times to tell you
What the hell we're doing here
And I might not have an answer but to say
Ours is the next frontier, my dear

I tried to write a love song
That I'm pretty sure is creepy
Good thing you love and like my sense of humor
Dark and dreary
Thing is, honey, your love
Lets me be me
